We recognize that the health and safety of our employees are core factors that underpin sustainable corporate management and create a safe working environment that preemptively manages physical and mental risks.
Health and Safety Policy
We established a health and safety policy that is implemented across our business. The policy was established in 2022 after review and approval by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and applies to all employees, partner companies, streamers and others who are under the supervision or entrustment of the company. SOOP's safety and health policy is centered on the following principles.

Workplace Risk Assessments and Safety Inspections
We regularly and systematically assess risks to manage harmful and hazardous factors in the workplace. The assessment process consists of selecting targets, identifying hazards and risk factors, estimating and determining the level of risk, establishing and implementing improvement measures and documenting the assessment results. Assessments are categorized into initial, occasional and regular assessments. Regular assessments are conducted on an annual basis while occasional assessments are conducted on an as-needed basis. Material issues found in the assessment are reported to management and the Board of Directors, and are then reflected in future strategic planning and decision-making. We also conduct regular facility safety inspections at major business sites, including the Pangyo office. Electrical safety inspections take place on a three-year cycle, and fire facility function inspections are conducted in the first half of each year while in-depth inspections are conducted in the second half. Through these inspections, we identify potential risk factors in advance and continuously manage them to create a safe working environment.

Committing to a Culture of Safety
SOOP provides various programs and training to create a safe and healthy working environment. We operate our Internal Health and Safety Suggestion System to allow employees to freely offer their opinions on health and safety, and the submitted suggestions are reviewed by the health and safety management officer at least once every half-year to develop improvement measures and follow-up plans. Additionally, the health and safety management officer and staff are trained every two years to strengthen health and safety expertise, and employees are provided with an emergency drill response checklist developed by the company to prepare for emergency situations. SOOP plans to continue systematically build training programs for various disaster scenarios, and expand safety trainings and internal campaigns so that all employees can work in a safe environment.
Employee Wellness Programs
SOOP provides various health support programs to protect and promote the physical and mental health of employees. We partner with major hospitals to provide medical check-up services for employees and their families, and have a medical check-up expense support system in place. We also support our employees’ health by providing group accident insurance, flu vaccinations, infertility leaves and vaccination leaves. For mental healthcare, the company provides professional mental therapy services through the "Maum Todak" program, with all costs covered by the company. The program started with streamers and has now been expanded to cover all employees, and the privacy of participants is strictly protected. SOOP will continue to strengthen its comprehensive wellness program, covering both physical and mental health support, to ensure that all employees can work in a healthy and safe environment.
